Russian President Vladimir Putin says that National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden will have to stop leaking U.S. secrets if he wants to get asylum in Russia from espionage charges in the United States.

"There is one condition if he wants to remain here: He must stop his work aimed at damaging our American partners. As odd as it may sound from me," Putin told a news conference in Moscow, reported RT television network.
